I WILL BE POSTING BACK,,,, :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
After Reading Some More It says you will lose all your data.. mmmmm gunna check something out
Part 1 Is only for people who has not unlocked bootloader Part 2 is for people who have unlocked bootloader and Part 3 Is For Everyone
Oh and Sorry for the cruddy tutorial will update it tomorrow its 3:24 am in Cali and i want to go to Sleep
Part 1
(Update) Well Its Official we have an unlocked bootloader on the P769 i attached a picture sorry its kinda blury i had to take it with my sisters ipod...
Ok well what you have to do dont worry its really easy
1) Download V20F kdz
2) Flash That kdz (dont worry about root well get that later....)
3) After it Boots Make sure you have signal to network (doesnt matter if it has service or not i havent paid mine yet and it unlocked)
4) Connect Phone To Computer and make sure you have USB Debugging on and then run the Following Command
"adb reboot oem-unlock"
after you run that command your phone should reboot i do not know why but there is no prompt like the p760 (if you want to confirm you have it unlocked do the following 1)turn off phone then hold volume up and connect usb from computer and you should get S/W update and at the top left Bootloader Status: Unlocked)
and there you have official unlocked
Part 2
ok now for those of you who did it the hard way and unlocked before i recommend you take this unlock but up to you first what you wan to do is
Make sure you have this installed "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090" and setup
then download this
Lelus Fastboot Script : "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828'
and then choose the one that says P769 ICS U and X Boot choose that then it will tell you do the battery thing then it will flash and now you have original X and U Boot Now you can flash the kdz and do the unlock make sure you do this first!!!
Part 3
Now to flash a recovery and flash root
Make sure you have it on your sd card there is different ones link are scattered so ill get them in a while
Install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828 then start fastboot and flash a recovery image to your phone
then make sure you have the superuser zip on your sdcard then boot to recovery and flash the zip after you flash it now reboot and enjoy you have unlocked bootloader with root and cwm now just flash another rom and there Cheers

I am a huge noob
Hey i have no idea what to do i am a huge noon at these things andi want to get my lg optimus l9 p769 rooted. What relly confused me is when you said i had to flash something and i thought you had to be rooted to do that. Please help.
I tried the ADB command and the device rebooted. When I went into software update mode it did not mention anything about the bootloader being unlocked. I'm going to try again in 30 minutes as I had just put in the SIM card prior to attempting to unlock. Not sure if it makes a difference but the SIM card does not have active service and I flashed the 20D KDZ before doing the OTA update to 20F.
EDIT: Waited 2 hours and tried to unlock again, no dice. I guess I'll wait for further instructions.
Nice find! I'll have to try this tonight.
Sent from my LG-P769 using xda app-developers app
I know this is a noob question, but where's the KDZ at? It isn't in cmahendra's repository and I really want to unlock my bootloader tonight. BTW, I'm not new. Well technically yes, but I've been lurking these forums since late January. So um, yeah. I need the KDZ and such. I'm already on P769F but I got it through OTA... I went into Terminal Emulator and I thought I had something, I went "su" and then "reboot oem-unlock" and it would unlock, but my phone didn't show the confirmation in S/W update mode. I'm using artas locked bootloader recovery if that means anything. Wait, actually I'm going to try something.. I might have just answered my plethora of questions. Sorry for the useless post xD
Thanks Carloswii5. When you get a chance, please give some more detail, and possibly links to the correct version of what we need to download\install. Great find, though!

I got the tmobile lg p769 on wind mobile v21b. I just did the reboot oem-unlock through terminal. Then powered off phone and plugged in sw upgrade. And says bootloader status unlocked. It was backwards because mines been unlocked for a while. But maybe u could use the v21b cwm backup and do the unlock. I stayed on the wind rom for move apps to sd is built in. I get the same 4g coverage from tmobile. Just changed the apns.config.xml with tmobiles v20f and set up apns manully. The same tweaks work on the wind version as the others. Oh theres a telepony.xml u need to replace as well. Just thought everyone should know how much of an asset wind 21b can be no matter what carrier u got.
Type su in terminal then press enter. Then type unlock command. It rebooted but I'm not near a PC to confirm (20f via cwm update).

Notes It seems if you restore your phone tool using LG update tool .. it relocks the bootloader (assuming) in my case i had done it since 10.1 had BT issues ..went back to stock ..and unlocked it again today This is what you do :
what ever rom your on doesnt matter .
1.first Root the phone many way to root the phone .. then install busybox from market and install CWM (using the L9installer apk..Then enable wifi and debugging mode .also enable touches do these before proceding the KDZ!
Then install
2.then using the V20F_00.kdz your root the phone again like in step 1 install busybox from market and install CWM.then apply the touch screen fix .
You should have a working phone now with radio signal.Then wait about 40 mins then do oem-unlock command .. Note it will not boot into LG logo phone will just reboot .. Then to confirm if the bootloader is unlocked go to S/W mode on top it should say bootloader status is unlocked .just did this and flashed CM10.2
Maybe ill clean up this post soon if its too confusing ..
So what you mean is that it doesn't go into the fastboot screen to unlock the bootloader?

It means that the euro kdz becomes partially locked at this point. According to what my friend told me, when the unlock command gets sent, LG checks the status of the bootloader. If they notice a semi-lock, they lock it down.
If that's the case, they are so evil.

First of all, I'm spanish, my apologizes of my expresions or misspelling.
That's what I've done:
1 - I've checked if my bootloader was unlockable, and my phone say's: NO
2 - Then I've installed the DualRecovery W/O root and with my phone bootlocked.
3 - Then I've tryed to flash CM11 in TWRP recovery, flashing first the Boot.img via fastboot.
4 - Device in Red Light.
What I can do to woke up my Z2? That's my record 2 hrs to **** my phone. :silly:
Firstly, it's stated in the first post of the CM11 thread that you shouldn't be using dual recovery. If you read the thread further, you'll see that it is recommended to use the recovery in DooMKernel to flash. And this requires unlocked bootloader.
Anyways, you can try using Flashtool to flash a stock firmware. Might be able to recover your phone.

If your BL is locked, you cannot install CM.... coz you cannot install a custom kernel. you should rebuild your phone using SEUS to put a good ROM.
Then you can put whatever ROM you want for LB and root it. but no custom kernel.

Hi there,
Is there any way to get root access without unlocking the bootloader. I found some ways in XDA but nothing is clear.
I would really appreciate if you guys can send me a link with a clear tutorial of how to get a new ROM without unlocking the bootloader.
I just got my Z2 which is sim locked (UK) and I can't unlock the bootloader from the official page.
Many thanks,

first: the phone comes with a Vodafone rom, I can put some "unbranded" rom? how?
second: I can't unlock my bootloader forever ??
and third: What is the function of recovery mode if I can't flash any cRom? Just backups?

You can download a Generic FTF and use flashtool to flash it to your device
Once you unlock your bootloader it stays unlock till you relock
You can flash roms n manage general other stuff from recovery

Guys...
I have a serious (not really serious, but kind of...) problem.
I got a Xperia U the other day. I've rooted it and flashed CWM 6.0.1.2... I really want to try CM11 on it. But the thing is that the bootloader is locked... and it seems that there's no way to unlock it since it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: NO".
So the thing is:
There's any way to unlock the bootloader? Maybe flashing a previous firmware?
Or can I flash a ROM via CWM without problems?
I've seen the procedure to unlock bootloader on Sony's page... If I do it (even when my phone says that bootloader unlock is denied)... will I break the phone?
Please answer this. I'm new and I can't post on dedicated forums
My firmware is 6.1.1.B.1.54 and I'm using 4.0.4 ICS
Please...
Someone?
:'(

SIM unlock and bootloader unlock are very different things. There's always a risk of soft bricking when installing, but nothing the original firmware, the flash tool, and about 10 minutes of time wouldn't fix.

You didn't read all of the thread then. Sony says you just have to have the phone have the bootloader unlock option say "Yes" in the settings. Nothing to do with the SIM lock or unlock. Plus none of the other Xperia phones that are bootloader unlockable I've seen or worked on require that, so would seem odd just for this one.

You lost me somewhere along the way here... So your phone does or does not have an unlockable bootloader? If it IS unlockable, then why do you think it takes a week? Last few Sonys I unlocked, I received the code within a minute or 2.
